What happens when you take two powerhouse smooth jazz artists and put them together on one album? You not only get a double dose of hot funk and cool vibes, but also steamy Latin rhythms oozing with sex appeal, making its many textures a delight to the all the senses. On RnR, trumpeter Rick Braun and saxman Richard Elliot sizzle as they deliver all the goods on this outstanding collaboration. The twelve original songs on RnR were written and produced by Braun and Elliot, and contain a seamless mix of contemporary jazz, funk, R B and pop. They are no strangers to each other, as they have toured together and made guest appearances on each other's projects numerous times. ~Susan Lozinak Track Listing: R n R Sweet Somethin' Curve Ball The Stranger Da JR Funk Que Paso Better Times Down And Dirty Two Heart Tango Q It Up; Sunday Night Sao Paulo.
